They don’t care what method you use to deposit that $500 such as automatic ACH transfer from another bank account each month. Another option to waive the fee is to have 8 transactions per statement cycle E.G. any deposits, withdrawals, including transfers are all considered “transactions.”
- Account Closure Fee – The account must be opened for at least 180 days/6 months before closing. Otherwise, $25 early closure fee.
